The corner of Ling Xuzi's mouth twitched, and he opened and closed his mouth again, and finally managed to utter a few words: "I swear that's something only children play with. I won't play such a childish trick with you!"

Feng Shao retracted his gaze and continued, "In addition, Ye Chen sneaked into Linglong Pavilion in Liyang City yesterday and killed Linglong Pavilion's owner Deng Su and a little boy. This also violated the fourth and fifth commandments..."

Before Feng Shao could finish his words, Ling Xuzi asked again: "What evidence do you have to prove that Ye Chen killed these two people?"

Feng Shao looked at him as if he were an idiot, and said coldly: "Are your eyes not working well? You clearly saw it with your own eyes, but now you want to ask me for evidence?"

Ling Xuzi argued: "When I arrived at Linglong Pavilion, I only saw you trying to kill Ye Chen, but I didn't see Ye Chen killing those two people. You said Ye Chen killed someone, please show me the evidence!"

"Evidence?" Feng Shao snorted coldly and waved to the side. Then, a little girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old came over. Feng Shao gently stroked her little head and said softly: "What did you see last night? Tell me everything!"

It was the first time for the little girl to face such a situation in her life, and she was inevitably a little nervous. She stammered, "Last night, I was meditating in my room, and then Xiaobao suddenly said there was a noise outside. I didn't know what was going on outside, so I went out to take a look..."

The little girl spoke more and more fluently, and soon told everything that happened last night. When she talked about her brother being taken hostage and killed innocently by Ye Chen, she couldn't help sobbing, and many disciples present felt sympathetic and indignant.

The little girl finally sobbed and said, "If Master hadn't arrived in time, I would have died in the hands of that evil villain!"

"To be able to do this to a little girl like this is worse than an animal!"

"Ye Chen looks like a talented person, but why is he such a filthy person?"

"Humph! I told you a long time ago that Ye Chen is not a good guy!"

"It's so unlucky for the three branches to have accepted such a bad guy!"

The disciples below were talking about it, and Du Yuanxi, who was sitting at the head, was pale and blue, and her complexion was hard to describe. She thought highly of Ye Chen, and even wanted to pass on the mantle of the Three Wisdoms to Ye Chen. However, before practicing, one must first cultivate the mind. If the mentality is not right, the road ahead is doomed to be bumpy. At the least, he will be punished by the Nine Heavens Thunder, and at the worst, he will be haunted by the inner demon and cannot be freed.

If Ye Chen could successfully cultivate after committing evil deeds, it would only prove that he was born evil, and doing evil deeds was as common to him as eating and drinking. However, the deeper such a person's cultivation, the more serious the harm he would cause. And how could the Taiwei Sect, which claims to be a famous and upright sect, tolerate such a person?

Therefore, if Ye Chen confirmed this matter, then regardless of whether his cultivation was abolished or not, Taiwei Sect would no longer be able to accept him.

While everyone was discussing this, Ling Xuzi asked again: "You little girl, you just mentioned Master? Who is your Master?"

The little girl glanced at Feng Shao, grabbed his clothes and said loudly: "He is my master!"

Feng Shao also nodded and said, "I met this little girl in Liyang City. Seeing that she had good aptitude, I accepted her as my disciple and temporarily placed her in Linglong Pavilion. I wonder if you have any objection to this?"

Feng Shao kept calling him "Your Excellency" and refused to address him as "Uncle Master" from beginning to end, which had already made Ling Xuzi furious. He looked at the little girl with a gloomy look and said coldly: "She is your disciple, so she will speak in your favor. Besides, you can't take a child's words seriously."

Ling Xuzi had repeatedly confused right and wrong, which had already displeased all the disciples. Seeing him making trouble again, many of them protested:

"You old man are talking nonsense, what you say cannot be taken seriously!"

"I don't know where this old man came from, running here to take advantage of his age!"

"Do you really think you're the one who founded the Taiwei Sect? The Sect Master hasn't said anything yet, so what nonsense are you talking about, old man?"

"Heh, you old man are speaking for Ye Chen like this, could it be that Ye Chen is your biological father?"

The disciples' protests made Lingxuzi so angry that he was fuming, and Qingyangzi couldn't help but frown.

Although Ling Xuzi's identity was questionable, since Qing Yangzi acknowledged his identity, Ling Xuzi should be the great uncle of all the disciples. But because Feng Shao refused to acknowledge Ling Xuzi, all the disciples were unwilling to acknowledge him either. From this aspect alone, it can be seen that Feng Shao's prestige in the hearts of all the disciples is greater than that of the headmaster.

This made Qingyangzi feel a little annoyed.

Ling Xuzi was so angry that he was furious and shouted: "You disrespectful people, do you really think I dare not attack you?!"

But just as Ling Xuzi finished speaking, he heard Feng Shao say coldly: "I advise you to take it easy, this is Taiwei Sect, not a place where you can act wild!"

"You!" Ling Xuzi was so angry that he could hardly speak.

Feng Shao's words clearly meant that he did not consider Ling Xuzi as a member of Taiwei Sect at all, and he was not even a guest.

Ling Xuzi was about to lose his temper when he heard a low shout: "Enough!"

Although the voice was low, because it was attached with true energy, the low shout was transmitted very far, and it made everyone's heads numb, and they recovered from their anger in the blink of an eye.

Feng Shao rushed forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Second Uncle!"

Qin Zhao nodded and stopped talking.

Ling Xuzi was also secretly shocked by Qin Zhao's shout. Since he came to Taiwei Mountain, Ling Xuzi relied on his seniority and acted like the ancestor of the entire sect. He almost set up a tablet for himself and let everyone worship him. But Qin Zhao's low shout made his head buzz. He believed that he could never do this, and he had some understanding of Qin Zhao's cultivation.

It is obvious that Qin Zhao's cultivation is far higher than Ling Xuzi's.

The timing of Qin Zhao's low shout was also very interesting. He did not speak when the disciples were making noises, but spoke when Ling Xuzi was angry. This choice of timing was very intriguing.

Ling Xuzi was not a fool, so he naturally sensed Qin Zhao's attitude. He was extremely annoyed, but he did not dare to do anything else. He just snorted heavily and said, "I don't think it's appropriate to convict Ye Chen based on this little girl's one-sided statement!"

Feng Shao sneered in his heart. Ling Xuzi's words were obviously softer than before, which was influenced by Qin Zhao's low shout. This old man is indeed a bully who only cares about the weak and the strong. Now he finally knows how to admit defeat.

Feng Shao asked back: "I wonder what you think is appropriate?"

Ling Xuzi rolled his eyes and said, "Ye Chen is a boy with excellent aptitude. If he is trained, he will soar to the sky sooner or later. Taiwei Sect is lucky to have such a boy. But you, Feng Shao, have been a sect for thirty years but have not yet entered the Golden Core stage. Your aptitude is mediocre and you are not qualified to be the Holy Son. All your accusations against Ye Chen are obviously out of your jealousy! You are jealous that Ye Chen's aptitude is better than yours, and you are afraid that he will snatch your position as the Holy Son, so you have convicted Ye Chen of these unfounded crimes! You are jealous of others' talents, but what crime should you be charged with?"

Before Feng Shao could say anything, the disciples off the field started to make noise again.

"Who is Ye Chen to be jealous of Senior Brother Shengzi?"

"Is this old man crazy? Just Ye Chen? And he makes Senior Brother Shengzi jealous? Is he worthy of it?"

"I think this old man is the one who is jealous of Brother Shengzi!"

"Where on earth did this old man come from?"

"You even call yourself the great-grandmaster, bah!"

Ling Xuzi was furious, and Qin Zhao was even more angry because he did not stop the disciples' noise. He looked at Qin Zhao with hatred, and then said to Feng Shao: "Feng Shao, you are incompetent and unworthy of the position of Holy Son. Why don't you abdicate as soon as possible?"

Feng Shao sneered: "Let the wise man take over? I wonder which one you are referring to? Could it be Ye Chen who murdered his fellow disciples, robbed the sect's things, and acted tyrannically and killed innocent people?"

Ling Xuzi snorted coldly: "Those charges are just one-sided statements made by you and some scoundrels. They are totally unreliable!"

Feng Shao ignored him and bowed to Qing Yangzi, saying, "Master, please be fair!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Qing Yangzi, who had been silent.

After a long while, Qing Yangzi said calmly, "There are many suspicious points in what Ye Chen did. Although he has been accused, it is still not enough to convict him. Considering that Ye Chen has contributed a lot to the sect, he will be punished to face the wall for one year and not be allowed to leave the mountain during this period."

Qing Yangzi's words left almost everyone stunned.

This matter was almost set in stone, and the person who accused Ye Chen was none other than Feng Shao, the Saint Son of the Sect, the eldest disciple under the Sect Master. But he finally chose to stand on Ye Chen's side?

Especially when they thought about the fact that Qingyangzi actually acknowledged the identity of Lingxuzi, an old fellow of unknown origin, the hearts of the disciples were in uproar!

Even Du Yuanxi was looking at Qing Yangzi with disbelief.

Among all the people present, the only one who was happy was probably Ling Xuzi. Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and he bowed to Qing Yangzi and said with a smile: "The headmaster is still very perceptive. I admire you, uncle-master!"

Qing Yangzi gave him a cold look, stood up, and said loudly: "Alright, let's just leave it at that, let's all go!"

Having said that, Qing Yangzi prepared to return to the inner hall.

But before he could take a step, he heard Feng Shao say faintly: "That's it?"

Qing Yangzi turned around, frowned and looked at Feng Shao, and said unhappily: "Feng Shao, I know you are dissatisfied in your heart, but..."

Feng Shao interrupted Qing Yangzi without any hesitation and asked coldly, "Master clearly saw what happened yesterday, but he still protected Ye Chen in front of so many people. May I ask what kind of sect rules are you following?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

No one expected that this time, Feng Shao would actually point the finger at the Sect Leader!

That's his master!

Qing Yangzi also looked at Feng Shao in disbelief, but found that Feng Shao's eyes were terribly cold.

Qing Yangzi suddenly realized that perhaps he had always underestimated this senior disciple...
